Check out the latest movie stills from the upcoming film “Welcome to the Rileys” by director Jake Scott (Tooth Fairy) and starring Kristen Stewart (The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, The Runaways).
Synopsis: Doug Riley and his wife Lois have been living a half life since their daughter Emily was killed eight years ago. Doug has coped by having an affair with Vivian, a waitress. Lois has struggled, harbouring a secret and devastating sense of guilt for her daughters death. She has withdrawn into herself and hides away from the outside world, relying on hairdressers who make house calls, her sister, Harriet, and the local pastor.
When Vivian dies, Doug is lost. On a business trip to Baton Rouge he finds himself at a crossroads. And in a strip club. A 16 year old lap dancer Mallory offers him extras in a private room. He turns her down but goes home to her run down apartment and makes his own proposition. He offers to pay her $100 a day if he can stay for a while, get his head together. No sex. No strings. Mallory isnt used to getting money for nothing, but whatever Doug rings Lois and tells her he isn’t coming home.

Sometimes a year comes along that makes and actor or actress for a time to come. This is Kristen Stewart’s year. I wouldn’t be surprised to see her performance in The Runaways earn buzz during awards season, and I’m not talking those stupid teen awards. Oscar loves music biopic performances and The Runaways was one of the best of the year. She’s currently filming On the Road, a film classic, with Salles and Coppola. I’ve heard that Gus Van Zant is also an executive producer for the film. That makes it one of the most hyped movies shooting right now. I am definitely not a Twilight fan, but Bill Condon directing the last two films makes them more prestigious than they once were. Welcome to the Rileys got great reviews at the Los Angeles Film Festival and Sundance. That makes this Kristen’s second breakout performance of the year. She’s getting $25 million plus gross for the Twilight films so they’re worth it for her, but critics agree that her indie roles have helped her acting improve in Twilight, and that’s a miracle considering what there is to work with. The only other young stars that I can think of that are having a great breakout year besides Kristen Stewart are Garrett Hedlund (her On the Road Costar/Tron Legacy) and Chloe Moratz.
